sullysue Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Liquidcrystalcompass and I had a PM conversation today about those little things we've decided we couldn't ever get past in potential girlfriends/boyfriends. I'm learning that being single sucks on it's own. But, encountering other people's quirks and preferences just kind of magnifies the situation. We're all reasonable people willing to overlook certain things and maintain an open-mindedness in order to possibly find "The One," whatever that is. So, LCC and I decided that we'd start compiling a list and thought our fellow TRF'ers would have some great (and probably hilarious) contributions. Most of them I put in there, drawing from ONE guy I was mercifully spared from getting too involved with. This is what we have so far: NASCAR Country music Any allusion to or direct mention of Britney Spears Using words only your great grandma would (words like "gal" ) The belief that lawnmower facts and the finer points of edging make for good conversation (Yes, my friends, this really happened. For 45 minutes. ) Being on the receiving end of a verbally abusive drunk dial So, go! What are your realationship deal breakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Holy shit!! Nascar is a deal-breaker?! I mean, I hate the damn sport but I wouldn't break up because the gf liked it. Besides infidelity, poor hygiene, and maybe having a prehensile tail, I can't think of too many deal-breakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASCAR is one of MY deal-breakers. Can't deal with it. These are, of course, subjective things. And, besides, it's sometimes a build-up of things that make the deal go bust. One tiny red flag after another will make you run for the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ex of yours must've really been an asshole if he made Nascar a deal-breaker for you It's not happened to me, but faking an accent [when it's not done in the context of a joke] would be a deal-breaker. I've met quite a few folks that fake an accent (even when it's done slightly) because they think it makes them seem cooler. They were wrong. It made them seem like a bigger loser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The poor hygiene thing would definitely bust it for me. Anyone who wanted a "girly girl" who wears dresses and heels all the time and doesn't ever swear would be out of luck with me. Talking baby talk, unless it's to a pet - turnoff Some may find this sad, but I had two serious long-term relationships go bust over the issue of kids. I didn't want, they did. I had my tubes tied after the second bust-up, so it was no longer a point of contention. Anyone interested in me found out pretty quick that I was dead serious on that matter. As for the finer details: nail-biting, chewing tobacco use (I don't mind smoking, as long as it's done outdoors - I do myself and wish I didn't, but that's another story) Mistreatment of an animal, ESPECIALLY a dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time carrying on a conversation without interjecting a shit, a f**k or a sonofabitch in there somewhere. Hey, what can I say? My dad was a Marine. Growing up, it wasn't weird to talk like that. As for the babytalk thing... Man, there is nothing worse than that. It's gross and weird and makes me think he might be missing his mom.

It irritates the hell out of me when guys think they can just let fly anywhere, any time in front of the wife or GF, just because they're guys. I gave my husband a RAFT of shit once when he made a comment that he'd needed to but didn't when we were out with friends. He "didn't want to be rude". Oh, so it's okay to be rude to YOUR WIFE?????? Especially when you KNOW she can't stand it? I understand a little slip-up here and there, no big deal. But it really, sincerely pisses me off when they do it deliberately, just to get a reaction. Then they stand there and laugh. Yeah, laugh it up. Obviously, though, you're having some GI issues and don't need to be having any sex tonight.

priest_of_syrinx Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 -Promiscuity -Disregard for property or other rights of others -She feels like she HAS to be in CONSTANT communication with you, even if you haven't started seeing each other yet. O_o -Gossiping -If she has the inability to carry on a conversation that requires deep thought, it's not going to work. I can't say much, though, because my 17 years have been entirely kissless and single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya_Big_Tree Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm pretty easy going but ya a few things irk me: -bad hygiene (if the guy looks like he hasn't seen a bar of soap in years it's not happening) - smoking (mostly cause my lungs are bad enough as it is) although weed is fine -Abuse (emotionally or physically) - Abuse towards animals or children - Prissy guys (guys who don't like to get dirty or go on adventures, ya it's not gonna work) - Rush haters- they dont have to love the band like I do, just understand that when they go on tour, Im going travelling to see them with or without them... nothing personal but it's my fave band and nobody will be stopping me from seeing them - People who I can't have a conversation with (they can be the hottest thing on earth but that's only good for a night.. to date me they gotta be able to talk to me) I'm really lucky that my boyfriend is none of these!

OK. Definite addition to the list needs to be Rush Hater. I think anyone on this board will agree that if someone we're interested in says, "I don't like Rush," (which I've heard and had a hard time comprehending the words. I think I may have experienced an eye twitch.) we experience an immediate no-deal sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, like I said before, it's all subjective. Let me put it this way: If you found someone who couldn't tolerate listening to Rush and you love listening to Rush, how is that going to work out? It's the same as if you found someone who loves listening to a band you can't stand one note of and they love them and they listen to them all the time, what do you do?
